Do You Have a Support System?

There are many times in one's life that you need support. It starts when you are born. Some people grow and learn to move through life with more support than others but it is vital that everyone has a support system.
A support system can look very different to people. Support can be in the form of books, articles, money, or people. In times of need it is important to search for what gives you the most support. One of the main support systems that can be powerful is a support system full of people. It is ok to lean on people. People like to feel needed and they want to help.
There are certain events that happen in your life that will be beneficial to have a support system like, marriage, having a baby, divorce, and death. Who do you go for to help you through these times? Some ways to identify if someone is being supportive is to feel their heart. Many people want to protect you from your feelings of fear, pain, confusion, and loneliness. If someone is truly being supportive they will allow you to go through it. The only way you can move through these feelings is to deal with them.
Dealing with feelings around being a new parent or being in a new relationship can be very confusing. Some people are fearful or even sad as they are giving up a life they used to live to create a new one. If you are supporting someone going through some life changing event it is best to listen, be compassionate, find what it is they are in need of and then empower them to reach up and out and gain it. Life's events are full of growth opportunities if you are just pushing the feelings down or away they will only resurface. Feelings are our emotional guidance point. When you know what you feel you can move up into a better feeling place or if you are at the top of that point, learn to stay there.
Using a support system will help you gain clarity of your feelings. Support systems are not meant to take away what you are here to learn they are here to support. That is it. Just like anything in life you have to do the work. You have to learn to take what lessons are to be learned and release the rest. Your support systems assist you in that. It is your choice to have the feelings you are having. Yes, that is bold statement, but you do have a choice. The choice is dealing with what you feel, learn, take what is needed and release the rest. A beautiful life will emerge and you will have a support system to thank!
Remember, the people you use as a support system will also need you. If you learn how to move through the difficult times in your life with grace, you will be able to empower others to do the same. Being there for someone is a true gift and asking someone to be there for you is a great compliment! Learn what it is you are to be taking from the event, release the rest, and most of all be in full gratitude for the wonderful people in your life.
